| 345 | Video | blueluigi | "Pop, do you realize it's more dangerous driving on the freeway than it is on an airplane?" Said no one after 9/11. | Feb 17, 2013 |  | |
| 2732 | Article | Vaporman87 | I loved those true believers! Every year you made extra sure to hit their places. Yes, you were there to collect your full size (to heck with fun size) reward. But they made the experience so much more fulfilling. I once attempted to turn our house into that type of place. I decorated the sidewalk leading up to our front door with graves and spider webs, ghosts and ghouls, and a homemade pumpkin scarecrow sitting in his chair guarding the door. But since I had to go collect treats myself, I didn't get to enjoy the reactions of the visitors. I have a feeling their weren't very many, because our driveway was at the very top of the hill, and it was very long. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Sep 30, 2015 | |
| 2733 | Article | onipar | The True Believers are the best. They really did make Halloween extra special. It makes me sad that where I live now, we don't get many trick or treaters. Only a handful of the local kids come by. Perhaps if I advertise. :-p | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Sep 30, 2015 | |
| 2734 | Article | Vaporman87 | Just bus them in. Or tell your college students to spread the word. Make it mandatory to show up in costume. LOL | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Sep 30, 2015 | |
| 2739 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I loved the breakdown here. We so often tske these participants in Halloween for granted. What would we do without them? I am happy to count myself as the neighborhood True Believer, creating a new theme each year for the kids to enjoy. I haven't taken to chasing them with Chainsaws yet though. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 02, 2015 | |
| 2741 | Article | mickyarber | Great article. It brings back a lot of memories. My grandmother lived on a street that was full of older folks who all gave out candy. At the end of the street was a house like you mentioned at the end. It was a younger couple, and from quite a distance you could see the eery golw of orange and black lights, and all the kids you would run into had different theories about what would be found there. It was always the last stop of the trick or treating, and the anticipation built until you finally stopped by there. It was always the best candy haul, and best enviroment on that night. Look forward to reading more of your memories. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 02, 2015 | |
| 2742 | Article | onipar | Hoju, I knew you'd be a True Believer! :-) That sounds like you go all out. The chainsaw thing...yeah, I'd be afraid to do it these days. Thanks, Micky! Wow, that house sounds pretty killer! I kinda wish I could still go trick or treating. :-p | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 02, 2015 | |
| 2765 | Article | scojer | I use to remember the houses where I got floss or healthy stuff. I'd never go back to those houses again. I remember the houses that were decorated I would go back a few minutes later and get even more candy from them! They would give out the biggest hauls, and I just couldn't help going back a second time. The thing that made those front liners awesome, is that they would often recognize me, and say "Back for more?" They didn't seem to mind putting even more candy into my bag. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 03, 2015 | |
| 2770 | Article | onipar | Ah, so true, scojer. Sometimes I just love to pile the candy in because I know it makes the kids happy. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 04, 2015 | |
| 2779 | Article | NLogan | <img style="width: 276px; height: 206px;" src="/images/postImages/1444088763halloween - 2011 - chris 135.jpg"> Wanna be true believer here. We have always decorated the house to the gills; but confession here, most years we turned out the lights and left to do trick-or-treating of our own. We usually wait until our immediate neighbors send their kids around then leave ourselves and hit their houses. I trick-or-treated until a ripe old age because my little brother came around and was 14 years younger than me and well he needed someone to show him the ropes. Then my kids came and I still trick-or-treat with them. My years my little brother's years my sons' years = well over twenty years of trick-or-treating! I always buy good stuff plus i.e. good candy bars plus small Halloween toys to throw in the cauldron. Some years a grandparent mans the door as we make our yearly rounds but most of the time there are few trick-or-treaters as we live on the side of a mountain and little legs tire quickly. The spoils of the cauldron get mixed in with my sons' haul at the end of the night. For a few years in high school we had dummys in the yard and were mixed in with them in costume, other years we have had mini-haunted houses etc. I look forward with dread and delight to when my kids are too old to go and the parties/decorations we can do when we can properly man our stations at home for All Hallow's Eve. <img src="/images/postImages/1444088640Halloween2005boo.gif"> | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 05, 2015 | |
